About

DJ Semi ain’t just your average DJ! The self-proclaimed ‘Mixtape Marvel’ is here to leave his mark on hip-hop and R&B music as we know it. Born and raised in Waterbury, Connecticut, Semi began DJing as a hobby at the age of 12. Listening to the likes of Funkmaster Flex, DJ Clue, Green Lantern, and CT’s own DJ KG, Semi decided he would upgrade his hobby to a full time profession. With a passion for creativity, Semi’s focus on mixtapes has given the industry a new foundation. His clever mixes of new music, remixes, turntablism, and attitude give him the upper hand. “Why go crazy hustling your favorite A&R’s for a new exclusive when you know every other DJ will get it at the same time?” asks Semi. “I just go in and MAKE my own exclusives. All the pieces fit together like a puzzle and with my ear, I’ve created some really BIG records that you wouldn’t even know were just recycled vocals”. Semi’s past releases have included a project with G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks, Cash Money’s own Lil’ Wayne, and an Eminem Remix compilation. “It’s been great building relationships with the artists. My network allows me to expand my reach to the fans. When you have an artist like Lil’ Wayne co-signing your project you tend to make more noise”. The hustle doesn’t stop there. Semi plans to take his creative brand of mixtapes to the airwaves. The DJ is just as important as the artist. They are the foundation for the industry. They spin the records. They rock the crowds. The Mixtape Marvel does all of that, with his own brand of creativity and passion.
